Description



Roman Orator
2nd - 1st century BC
height cm 21 (8,3’’) cm 28 (11’’) with base
Leaded statuette depicting an elder orator figure standing on a base, wearing the toga exigua and outlined footwear; the facial features are expressed by realist portrait purpose: the deep wrinkles on the forehead, the short hair and the outlined beard suggest the old age.
The pose and the attitude reminds to the famous bronze statue of the Arringatore Aulus Metellus (110 -90 BC), an Etruscan senator in the Roman Republic, originally from Perugia or Cortona.
